Police watchdog the Independent Police Investigative Directorate Ipid says it is investigating the death of 17-year-old Thabani Mazibuko, who was allegedly shot by a police officer in Diepsloot.
This comes after angry residents in Diepsloot, north of Johannesburg, protested outside the police station on Sunday.
Mazibuko was reportedly shot four times on Saturday night, less than a kilometre from the station.
